Breast Cancer Awareness Month

About a month ago, I underwent my routine mammogram, which resulted in a couple biopsies. Having never had any issues, the experience was unnerving, but it did open my eyes to the procedures and the fear that many women face. I was fortunate that my case was benign, but the medical costs of just learning that were substantial. I realized I was blessed as I began to think of all the women who have to go further… to mastectomies, radiation, chemotherapy and other treatments. To say nothing of the emotional toll, the financial toll for these women and their families quickly reaches into the thousands of dollars.
